IF YOUR CHILD IS CROSS,
FEVERISH, CONSTIPATED
Look Mother! If Tongue
is Coated, Cleanse Little
Bowels With “California
Syrup of Figs.”
Mothers can rest easy after
giving “California Syrupof Figs”
because in a few hours all the
clogged-up waste, sour bile and
fermenting food gently moves
out of the bowels and you have a
well, playful child again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed
to take this harmless “fruit lax
ative.” Millions of mothers keep
it handy because they know its
action on the stomach, liver and
bowels is prompt and sure.
Ask your druggist for a 50 cent
bottle of “California Syrup of
Figs,” which contains directions
for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups. ad

It is to be regretted that the
recent Butts county grand jury
did not recommend that the Coun
ty Commissioner buy home-raised
products, as far as possible, for
the chaingang. But we believe
Mr. Gaston will do that, anyway.
The movement is state-wide and
is bound to have a wholesome ef
fect in encouraging the growing
of more foodstuffs.

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
it of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, at the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrt. Anna
Kounz, an Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo., says:
“For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; I was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies I
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entirely cured. I have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise Dr. Miles’ Nervine
too highly.”
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Miles* Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
Sold by all druggists. If first bsttls
falls to benefit your monsy Is returns*.

Georgia Roughage For State Demands
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Turn la* from a cotton regime to
growing at least a home supply of
roughage, what can the average Geor
gia fanner produce easiest? Among
the crops that can be successfully
grown for hay are oats and vetch,
wheat and vetch, rye, vetch and crim
son clover, crimson clover singly, cow
peas, soy beans, cow peas with sor
ghum or millet, sorghum sown broad
cast and thickly, and corn. To grow
grasses, alfalfa and other hay crops
Is more difficult and should be enter
ed into gradually.
Every farmer in Georgia can grow
enough of one or more of the com
binations mentioned to supply his
home demands and have some to sell
to the live stock owner in the city
and town. Every crop mentioned pro
duces heavily and comparatively little
acreage will be needed to meet all
of Georgia’s demands for roughage.
Oats and vetch afford a combination
equal if not superior to any other crop
grown for hay during the winter sea
son. Cow peas alone but preferably
cow peas sown with millet produce
a luxuriant pasture as a summer
Georgia Mares Could
Raise Georgia Work Stock
Milton P. Jarnagin, Professor Of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture
According to statistics which have
Just been Issued by the United Btates
Department of Agriculture, there were
115,000 horses ia Georgia at the be
ginning of the present year. It is
reasonable to Sgure that one-half of
theee are females. II la also within
the bounds of reason to figure that
theee mares are capable of a 50 per
cent breeding record.
If the mares already in Georgia
wer# bred, it would be possible to
raise annually 37,500 colts. Asa
matter of fact the government sta
tistics referred to show that there
were only about 3,000 colts raised in

growth. Sorghum alone or in com
bination with cow peas, provide a
splendid summer bay crop. When
sown alone It should be sown thickly
so that the stalk will be as small
as possible.
When corn Is gathered at the right
time and shredded it forms a rough
age nearly equal to timothy in feeding
value. This valuable feeding mate
rial Is very generally allowed to go
to waste in the South.
Of course many legumes do well la
Georgia, but a legume hay fed with
out association with other roughage
makes too rich a protein food, and
live stock do not do so well on it.
Georgia need not be dependent upon
the west for hay. It can and should
grow its own roughage. Many tlmea
more animals can be supported on
home-gfown feeds than are now be
ing raised. The more animals fed,
the more fertile the acres will be and
the more permanently successful will
be the agriculture of the state.
This Is the year to begin to grow
all the feed for the animals on the
farm, and the time to grow vastly
more of human food than has ever
been grown In Georgia.
Georgia last year, which means that
only about ten per cent of the mares
In Georgia were bred.
Counting both horse* and mules,
there is in Georgia now 434,000 head
of work stock. That being the re
quirement and counting that It is nec
essary to repurchase about every ten
or eleven years, it is apparent that
the mares already in Georgia could
foal enough animals to meet the de
mand. Therefor# Georgia already has
the foundation for breeding its ova
horse demand. It Is capable of stop
ping tbs 312,000,000 annual outgo from
the state for work stock, If It will
only breed the mares it has on hand.
What then is necessary to at once
increase the colt production in Geor
gia ten times what it is and thus meet
the state's demands? The purchase
of a few pure bred or high class sires,
their distribution over the stats at ad
vantageous points. Then with an op
portunity at hand to breed, no owner
of a mare ought to be so foolish
as not to make use of it.
